My 7 year old daughter has been telling lies for so long. Luckily I tend to know which are the truths and which are the lies, and I'm not the kind of mum to fly off the handle at every single thing.
She said she was the only girl in the class not to be invited to a party, and made a huge deal of it. I tried to explain that maybe they couldn't invite everyone but she made up a huge elaborate tale. Eventually I said that I would speak to the mother about it to see if there was some mistake, and when she refused to let me do anything eventually she admitted she had made the whole thing up. There have been so many other incidences of this I've lost count, and when I know she's lying I just ask her what she thinks she's getting out of making things up and I find it hurtful that she can't tell me the truth. It doesn't seem to stop her but it has eased off slightly. Its one of the many things that baffles me daily!
